@wiki_me My point is that the funding is optional and you can track all of Purism's efforts via their Gitlab instance.

I agree that you don't have fine-tuned control on what they should focus on. But I'm also not convinced users need to have this control.

Obviously it's more transparent when you donate to individual developers manually instead of going through a company. I don't disagree with that.

But in my terms it's still an improvement.

@wiki_me I would like to see this model work. Because free software definitely benefits from funding and it's far more transparent like this than financing software efforts with hardware funds.

@possiblylinux127 That would definitely be part of it, I assume. Does Wayland already track text rendering and its contents?

Because somehow text from any UI would need to be detected.

@Chewy7324 @GolfNovemberUniform I'd say as soon as screen readers work properly under Wayland, they could drop X11 builds. But they should definitely not do it before fixing that.
